Yes, it's called Oral Thrush here in the UK and it is treated with anti-fungal medicine. It can often occur when you take antibiotics for another problem, say a chest infection, and the antibiotics kill the normal flora, making room for opportunistic infections. Medicine may only be prescribed depending on where you live.
Hope this helps.
